NDMP protocol support
You can back up the Isilon cluster data through version 3 or 4 of the NDMP protocol.
OneFS supports the following features of NDMP versions 3 and 4:
Full (level 0) NDMP backups
- Incremental (levels 1-9) NDMP backups and Incremental Forever (level 10)
In a level 10 NDMP backup, only data changed since the most recent incremental (level 1-9) backup or the last level 10 backup is copied. By repeating level 10 backups, you can be assured that the latest versions of files in your data set are backed up without having to run a full backup.
- Token-based NDMP backups
- NDMP TAR backup type
- Dump backup type
- Path-based and dir/node file history format
- Direct Access Restore (DAR)
- Directory DAR (DDAR)
- Including and excluding specific files and directories from backup
- Backup of file attributes
- Backup of Access Control Lists (ACLs)
- Backup of Alternate Data Streams (ADSs)
- Backup Restartable Extension (BRE)
OneFS supports connecting to clusters through IPv4 or IPv6.
